ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Inspired by the Parasol pine tree, Helter Horizon depicts a warm summer evening in a slightly strange ethereal setting where colours compliment and light slowly diminishes. In the original labyrinth series, each painting contains a number of metaphors that link to the human condition. 'Helter Horizon' is no different and it takes the original iconic helter-skelter from 'Twisted Moon' and places it into a warmer and more relaxing composition. The helter-skelter represents birth and childhood and Helter Horizon connects the viewer back to the fond and warm memories of youth where every day seemed like a holiday. The path through the labyrinth to the helter-skelter is unimpeded suggesting we should never let anything obstruct our fondest childhood memories. The purple book in the foreground links this painting to 'Labyrinth Chase' and ‘Labyrinth Shade’ but also to the metaphor of good health where mental stimulus from reading and purple coloured food protects our mental health functioning as we age. This ready to hang original artwork has been painted on 100% artist cotton natural canvas and hand-stretched by the artist over 38mm gallery stretcher bars. It has been varnished and personally signed and supplied with a certificate of authenticity from Saatchi Art and David Bennison.

Graduating from the Cambridge school of Art in Illustration, David Bennison is a full-time British artist living and working in Cambridge, UK. His concepts have remained firmly grounded in the exploration of curvilinear perspective which complements his current work that has its origins in visual dream interpretation. David’s fine art painting explores ethereal and figurative subject matter that is interweaved with multiple viewpoints to produce intangible landscapes that continue a narrative from one canvas to the next. Repeated metaphors suggestive of sexuality, birth and death, seemingly make subtle relationships with confusing, existential pathways of everyday life. Obvious inspirations to David’s work have included the architectural drawings of Piranesi, graphic artist M.C. Escher, Illustrator Paul Hess and local artist and printmaker Glynn Thomas.
